Paid-for article on Rediff?
Look through this article on Rediff : India, the world's high-end IT hub too
From the scarce number of companies referred to by this article, and the conspicious absence of the bigger names in the field, the article sounds like a veiled advertisement for this iSoft-whatsis. For my money, they're targeting developers whom they want to recruit.
Mainly, this is an attempt to attract people who have realized the stuff I've talked about over the past weeks, and who are now looking for alternative careers. Jumping to a product company is always risky in the Indian environment, so this company is offering a half-assed compromise between the two : We develop proper products (i.e. here you could become a highly paid pure techie), but these products are developed for some outsourcing company. The idea might just work, but everything is against it.

Ahh .. I saw the tail end of a piece on 'bloomba' (these startup names always make me laugh) on CNBC. Looks like they are in the midst of well...ummm...a marketing blitz.
I am working on a project where 'outsourced product development' is happening without either parties making big noises about it, but your perceptions about the entire process (from previous posts) are eerily uncanny.
Interesting stuff...
What a wonderful invention it is, this thing we call the Internet!
Come and check it out if you get the time 8-)
